Model: Devore Depot
This is an N scale model built by Otto Kroutil of Rancho Cucamonga, CA, for his First District/Los Angeles Division railroad.
This 27' x 21' railroad is based on a two-level layout plan published in the 1999 issue of Model Railroad Planning. It is a very large N scale representation of the west side of Cajon Pass from San Bernardino to Summit, circa 1950. Many of the actual sites in the pass, as well as the massive San Bernardino station, are modeled on this layout. Otto models the sites using photographs to assure a high level of realism.
This railroad was featured on two Model Railroads of Southern California¡¯s tours: Tour No. 9 and the tour arranged for the Santa Fe Railway Historical & Modeling Society national convention in 2008.
